You really made me giggle--"Weasley-with-pointed-ears"--hilarious. When I got the request for Arakano, I knew there was a son of Fingolfin who never made it in The Silmarillion, and suspected Arakano might be the one (the "kano" on the end tipped me off). Talk about a birthday request in the form of a dare! In all fairness to Min, she did give me a cop-out second choice of writing about Maitimo and Findekano, but I couldn't resist the challenge. Even stranger perhaps, I had only posted the story the day before, when I got an email-alert that Erunyauve had posted an new entry to her Princes of the Noldor series on ff net and when I checked it, it was about the one and the same Arakano. Needless to say, hers is more serious.

Anyway, thank you so much for reading and commenting--so happy you enjoyed it.

Hey, thanks for reading and reviewing. Do I detect an interest in uncommon characters here? I don't generally do well with challenges or specific requests. My muses or all that responsive to prodding, but this one was given to me in such a way, I just had to take the bait.
